Call centers (in Central America at least) are the most readily available jobs that allow the worker to achieve a middle class lifestlye.
Their entry level positions require only a High School degree and fluent English. And pay more than what a Master Degree could earn in other companies.
For example, in El Salvador they pay twice than other jobs, always comply with overtime and night working hours payment rules, offer English improvement classes, University compensation, and offer private medical insurance as a benefit. This benefits are higher than what most small/mid businesses can offer.
Employees don't have much choice, faced with the decision of turning on a webcam for a $800+ per month job + benefits, or working in another job for minimum wage for $340 per month (and working on site under CCTV)
